Inspire me to use my Kenwood!

I was given a Kenwood mixer 2 birthdays ago and it's gathering dust on the counter. People keep raving about them and saying how great they are... what does a Kenwood do well? What food shall I try making in it that will inspire me to use it more often? I like cooking and baking.

It's better because you don't have to do it yourself . Seriously though, you know how recipes tell you to beat the butter and sugar until they are 'pale' - I never really got that until I used a mixer to do the mixing - it goes a completely different colour.

Cakes are great. Actually, I use an all in one recipe, and I literally dump the ingredients in the bowl, whack the dial around, and pour/scrape the mixture into a tin. A cake mix takes about 45 seconds or 1 minute once you have weighed the ingredients.
